GOLDEN THOUGHTS,

The gospel is not simply philosophy OF
religion or law of life, but it is an apocalypse
showing the heavens to our thought, and so
bringing its spiritual benedictions to every
heart and life.-Rev. DR.. r. s. Storrs.
The eye is the index of the soul; where it
points, thither will the souls affections tend ;
the longer its reach of vision toward the sky,
the shorter our outlook of desire and inspi-
ration toward the world.-A. j. Gordon.
Gods treasury. where He keeps His chill
drens gifts, will be like many mothers
store of relics of her children, full of things
of no value to others, but precious in His
eyes for the loves sake that was in them
Fenelon.
God having in this world placed us in a
sea, and troubled the sea with continual
storm, hath appointed the church for ship.
and religion to be the stern, but there is no
port but death. Death is that harbor whittier
God hath designed every one that he may
find rest from the trouble of his SOUL
Jeremy Taylor.
They that deserve nothing should be salts
fed with anything; bless God for what you
have, and trust God for what you want; if
we cannot bring our condition to our mind,
we must bring our mind to our condition if
man is not content in the state he is in, he
will not be content in the state he would be
in.-Erskine Mason
If were to add anythingto the supplica-
tions in the prayer book, would add this ::
From all the paralyzing cant of an unfelt
devotion; from all the God-defying hypocrisy
of an uplifted voice and down-hanging
arm from all the miserable mummery of q
grand external ritual and selfish, un-Christ-
like daily life, good Lord deliver us ''-Cdnon
WibeJorce.
And when it is all over, and our feet will
run no more, and our hands are helpless,
and we have scarcely strength to murmur q
last prayer, then we shall see that instead of
needing larger field, we have left untitled
many corners of our single acre, and that
none of it is fit for our Masters eyes, were it
not for the softening shadow of the Cross
EdWard Garrett.

AT THE POSTOFFICE,
How a Pretty Young Brunette Got Even
With an Ugly, Old, Spiteful Thing.

How a Pretty Young Brunette Got Even
With an Ugly, Old. spiteful Thing.
"Yes, it's awful tiresome work, )" sighed the
pretty young brunette who attends the
second delivery window on the thumb-hand
side of the postoffice station X. "And it's
mostly the fault of you horrid men, too."
How so?' said the usual horrid man who
sympathizes with pretty mail clerks from
the outside Of the window.
why, you are forever going out of town
to Santa Cruz or somewhere and promising
to write to your sweethearts, which, of
course, you never do-never think of it
wrote three times apiece and then the girls
come round here and raise fuss over our
losing their letters"
"Make row, eh ?'
II should say they did. They drop in
every day and abuse the mail system, and
we have to pacify them by filling up bluff
blanks to forward to the dead letter Office"
"Yes, we call letters that we know have
never been written bluffs OF course we
never find any traces of them and then the
women abuse us more than ever. Write
complaints to the P. NJ G. and all that"
DO eh ~

spiteful thing. focused to come here every
day and make regular circus about letter

summer. She reported me to the superln.

she actually accused me of stealing the letter
to read myself. The idea-just as if"
'No?"
"Yes, she did. But settled her. found
out who the man was and called on him and
got him to sign an affidavit that he never
wrote the letter at all. That made her mad
der than ever but got good and even with
her after ALL"
How sO?"
"Well-I-ahem-I-y see I'm engaged
to the gentleman now myself. Served her
right, too" and with q resigned smile the
long-suffering martyr glided off to wrangle
with an old lady who claimed that the stamps
she bought yesterday were second-ha and
had been licked before.-Nev York Mercury

from bis hand.
The marvel was that he had been able to
save the other with the blood pumping from
severed artery in his arm, while the clean
cut was laid wide open by the intense strain
he had undergone.
Things were vague and confused about
him when he opened his eyes again;
he was glad to lie quiet, and he seemed to
go through long succession of bad
dreams before he lapsed finally into rest
full sleep, and woke to find the morning
sun shining again and Tom Golden standing
by his bedside in q room which was strange
to him-Tom's own room a. II afterward
proved to be.
II brought you here 80 my old mother

pegs again. That'll mebbe make us square,"
said Tom in a hard way, and the next
moment he clenched his hand and scowled
upon his deliverer while he ground out

workmen were swarming about the place. II
was still early morning, and only two had
gone as high as the fifth story. Being some
distance apart, they looked like two spiders at
the top of that great web of scaffolding: one
had sharp knife in his hand, the other
was driving spikes into joist which he was
making secure.
Then, all at once, there was 0 crash and
downfall of yielding timbers: section Of
the scaffolding had given way and the man
who was pounding went with il for a short
distance. Then his hands. which were
thrown up. caught at and closed upon slen.
der brace which was torn loose at one end
while it held at the other. and he was left
hanging by that frail support, which creaked
and swayed with his weight, and threatened
every instant to break away and precipitate
him to that fate which for one brief, ago
nizing moment he had escaped.
The workmen below cried out a. they saw
his peril some stood, dazed with horror;
others ran for the ladders and began to climb
toward him but all would have been over
before they could have reached helping dis
tance had not the one man left at the top
acted with that quickness and coolness which
come to a very few in the time of such
emergencies.
There was no rope near him, nothing with
which he could reach the imperiled man but
light length of studding, and 1t barely suf.
feed when he stood on the very edge Of his
own scafolding, which had been shaken
somewhat by that falling section. He ran
it out until the end touched Tom Golden's
shoulder as he hung from that cracking
brace.
Lay hold O. this, Tom, an I'll drag you
in," he shouted.
To that seemingly doomed man, facing
eternity. the slender bridge offered scarcely
more hope than the brace which gave way
in that instant, but he grasped 1t a. the
drowning man grasps straw. and for two
or three seconds 1t was question whether
Barclay Leonard would he able to make good
his words, or be forced 10 loose his hold of

MORNING soNo.
SAMUEL MrNTuRN PKCI.

Sweetheart, the night is over, the mists have
shrunk away;
The morning beams are gathering dew drops
from the spray,
And every little leaf
With rapture like to grief
Is a-quiver with the kisses of the summer
winds at play.
Sweetheart, come let us wander; the paths
are blossom-strewn;
There are daisies for your tresses, there are
poppies for your shoon.
Let their beauty and their glee
Make tender thought for me
Ere the summer day has fioated to the golden
gates of noon.
Why should we part, love?
When true lovers wed
Summers in the heart, love,
When their bloom is dead.
